Amy Poehler: Broad City

The Amy Poehler-produced Broad City premieres Jan. 22 on Comedy Central. The show — a TV adaptation of a web series starring Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Gazer — follows friends as they navigate their life through New York City. The concept began as a sketch at the Upright Citizens Brigade before growing into a web hit. Poehler, an Upright Citizens Brigade alumna herself, toldTHR, “I’m excited to work with Comedy Central and introduce Abbi and Ilana to America. And all the other countries. And also Mars. We’ve got big plans.”
